paint color ideas

[shepherd79]

ok,
I am gonna spray my car this summer. I am going to do myself with spray gun.
here is my problem, i can't decide what color i want.
i have blue interior.
what is the good exterior color to go with blue interior?
i just want to hear some ideas.
thanks guys.

White, Black, Blue...

Hmm I think I would have to see and compare.

White, Blue, Silver, Gunmetal. Other than those, it would be a matter of personal preference. Seam's I'm caught up in the same dilemma. My car is white with brown, black, and tan interior. I will be painting it myself and I want to do something really different with it, but I dont want it to look like it just rolled off from the fast and furious set. Any ideas people?

i thought about white. it will hide most of my little dings.
Black and blue is just too dark.
i think silver may look odd with blue interior.
does anyone have white car with blue interior?

does anyone have white car with blue interior? I've had an 81 corolla sr-5,a 78 cobra II,a 79 F-150, and a 72 chevy C-10. All white with blue interior. They all looked nice with that color combo. The cobra II was originally silver w/ the blue interior. It looked nice that way too.

well, i think i am gonna with white color.
black bumpers and trim, and may be keep the hood flat black (not sure about that one).

I almost bought a CRX that was white exterior and blue interor. With tinted windows, it's two separate worlds, inside and out. It actually works nicely. I think it all boils down to preference.

Blue with white would look nice, but i really think u should get the white bumpers with the white car, not black.......thats just my preference because i dislike two tone bumpers

[shepherd79]

i like the looks of black bumpers when they wet.

I use Tire Wet on my bumpers. If I dont have that I use Armor All.

I painted mine white when I sprayed it, mainly because it looks pretty good on our cars and white doesn't show up mistakes as well as other colors.

I'm thinking about painting mine white, and get 20% mirrored tint around the sides and back...and maybe a strip across the top of the front....then I may get my whole interior done in white, and VERY LITTLE blue trim....
